Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 (8 oz) packages cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 large orange
- ½ cup fresh orange juice
- Orange slices for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated. Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan to form an even crust.
- Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add in the orange zest and fresh orange juice, mixing until well combined.
- Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully incorporated.
- Assemble the Cheesecake: Pour the filling into the prepared crust, smoothing the top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the cheesecake is set.
- Serve: Once set, remove the sides of the springform pan. Garnish with orange slices if desired, slice, and enjoy!
